Development of optical sources with the frequencies precisely controllable and tunable has made feasible the frequency domain division multiplexing (FDM) optical fiber transmission systems. Development of ultrafast optical pulse sources has enabled high capacity time division multiplexing (TDM) photonic systems.
Ultrashort optical pulses with several femtoseconds time duration are in the most advanced forefront of opto-electronics. Associated inevitably with the ultra-short temporal duration is a large spread in frequency. If the phases of its frequency components are manipulated, recorded, and read-out at ultra-high speed consistent with the pulse duration, we expect to obtain extremely flexible high-speed optical information handling scheme that combines the advantages of the FDM and TDM schemes. In this project we aim at establishing a new device principles that will enable us ultrafast dynamic control and detection of optical phases in femtosecond regime through interaction of optical pulses with materials. |
